I have not watched the movie but the essential feeling I got from reading multiple reviews by critics and fans is that the movie was mediocre but the music score was outstanding. The score was composed by Bear McCreary so I'm not surprised it was excellent.


The movie did indeed flop domestically but it did pretty well internationally.
